Young looks to Blues

WESTERN Bulldogs finals ruckman Lewis Young has requested a trade to Carlton where the versatile swingman will aim for a permanent role.

Young will find his way to the Blues pending a medical after knocking back a two-year deal from the Dogs.

The Herald Sun reported last month Young was being scouted by rivals after limited chances at the Dogs this year.

The Blues would not have to part with a high pick to secure the 22-year-old Young. The Dogs will lose Patrick Lipinski to Collingwood on a three-year deal and have offered Mitch Wallis a one-year deal.
